ARE YOU APPLYING TO UNIVERSITY IN SEPTEMBER 2013?? For 2013, the OUAC expects the majority of secondary school applicants to apply to Ontario universities online. In order to reduce the chance of delays and the frustration of slower online response times, we ask that you encourage your university-bound students to complete and submit their online application as soon as possible and well in advance of the January 16, 2013 deadline. Some students elect to pay their application fees by cheque or money order. Until this fee has been received at the OUAC, these applicants are not able to view and make changes to their individual applications. At this busy time of year, it may take OUAC staff approximately 3 to 4 weeks to process payments by cheque or money order. You may wish to convey this information to your students and suggest that they pay their fees by credit card when submitting their applications. The OUAC is officially closed for the holidays from December 21, 2012 at 4:30 pm to January 2, 2013, inclusive. The OUAC website will remain available during this time. Ensure that your students have their access information to apply online during the Christmas holidays. The OUAC cannot provide access information by telephone or via email.
